Surrender your fear of change
Embrace the unknowable
Set free your Soul
Be one with LOVE
Let your true self flow
Experience Infinity
In the moment divine…
just LOVE…

“We would rather be ruined than changed;
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.” ~ W.H. Auden
The simple act of acknowledging the beautiful inner light of another from a place of LOVE most sincere, bringing a smile to not only their face, but their heart, is one of life’s most sublime joys…
just LOVE…

Infinity is the absolute no thing masquerading as everything, experiencing itself; sharing with us, who are it, its fairy tales of being without beginning or end, dreamt by LOVE…
just LOVE…

“It is part of the nature of every definitive love that sooner or later it can reach the beloved only in infinity.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
The moment one remembers they are neither LOVE giver and or LOVE taker, but LOVE itself, is the moment of one’s transcendence from the illusion of the physical, to the truth of the spiritual.
just LOVE…

Don’t just say or pen the words, for words only describe what was and is no longer or what we dream a future to be that has yet or may never occur; so feel gratitude, experience gratitude, feel humility, experience humility, feel peace, experience peace, feel sharing, experience sharing, feel LOVE, experience LOVE; as only then in the moment are they real, not when you talk or write about them, with words whose truths we have stolen and carelessly squandered and because have lost almost all meaning.
just LOVE…

It’s seems clear that humanity is torn between two masters; the psychotic barbarian, the illusion of greedy self destructive flesh they have manifested with its perverted version of LOVE and the divine angel, the truth of spirit, their infinite self, with the reality of LOVE they pray to have, experienced now, only in dream…
just LOVE…
Kip Baldwin
There is one truth about our being and that is our innate oneness in LOVE, with all creation and it’s creator, all else are masks we don and roles we play.
just LOVE…

“Say I Am You
I am dust particles in sunlight.
I am the round sun.
To the bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.
I am morning mist, and the breathing of evening.
I am wind in the top of a grove, and surf on the cliff.
Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel,
I am also the coral reef they founder on.
I am a tree with a trained parrot in its branches.
Silence, thought, and voice.
The musical air coming through a flute,
a spark of a stone, a flickering in metal.
Both candle and the moth crazy around it.
Rose, and the nightingale lost in the fragrance.
I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,
the evolutionary intelligence, the lift,
and the falling away. What is, and what isn’t.
You who know Jelaluddin, You the one in all,
say who I am. Say I am You.” ~ Rumi
LOVE does ask that we strive for a perfection that in the seeking of we shall never find; LOVE asks only that we accept the perfection we are; that is where we lies our harmony or bliss with all creation.
just LOVE…

“Loving, helping, collaborating is the nature of all infinite creation, for how else could such beauty be.” he thought as he watched from the sandy hill, the sun the crest horizon, lighting the ocean’s cobalt blue waters, speckled with gold, creating another awe-inspiring dawn.
But, as he got back in his car and drove home to the city, smoke stacks belching fire in the sky, homeless by street side calling out to deaf ears and on the radio news reports screamed the broken record of war and depravity, he realized, “Hating, harming, competing has been the nature of man and that must change if man wishes to continue to be at all.”
And as he unlocked his expensive prison cell where he laid his head each night, day after thankless day, a final thought occurred to him, as he starred at the brick wall out his window that was his view, “For better or for worse LOVE is absolute equality, for in the end we rise together or fall together, as there is no one in the collective known as man that ultimately succeeds or fails alone.”
just LOVE…

When you come to harmony with LOVE, bliss follows no matter the illusion; you move from a state of seemingly ceaseless desperation, to one of a sense of unending contentment…

“Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.” ~ Alan Watts
Knowing for certain transcends faith, for faith is not certainty, knowing is; I know not many things for certain, but the absolutes that are LOVE and Infinity, I do; I also know for certain that I cannot except in the most unimaginably minute way comprehend either. And in my knowing and accepting of the ever incomprehensible I find the bliss that brings joy, to the eternal journey.
just LOVE…

Our petty imagined fears blind us to the magnificent, sublime absolute truth of both LOVE and Infinity…
